Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain intents, entities, dialog flows, and NLU models for voicebots/chatbots on one or more CCaaS platforms (e.g., NICE CXone, Genesys Cloud, Amazon Connect, Five9, Avaya, Twilio Flex).
- Configure and tune IVR call flows, DTMF/ASR grammar, barge-in, and voice biometrics settings for optimal containment and CSAT.
- Write, test, and iterate conversation scripts/prompts, handling edge cases, disambiguation, and graceful fallback/escalation to human agents.
- Monitor bot performance (containment rate, deflection, intent accuracy, CSAT) and continuously retrain/tune NLU models using production utterances.
- Design and build LLM-powered agents capable of multi-step reasoning, tool/API invocation, and task completion (e.g., order status lookup, refunds, appointment scheduling) within the contact center workflow.
- Implement RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) pipelines connecting agents to knowledge bases, CRM, ticketing, and backend systems for grounded, accurate responses.
- Orchestrate multi-agent workflows (e.g., using LangChain, LangGraph, Semantic Kernel, or platform-native agent builders) including handoffs between specialized agents and human-in-the-loop checkpoints.
- Apply prompt engineering, guardrails, and evaluation frameworks to ensure agent responses are accurate, safe, and on-brand.
- Collaborate with solution architects, QA, and platform teams to deploy, test, and support bots/agents in production environments.
- Document flows, prompts, agent logic, and integration architecture for handover, audits, and knowledge continuity.
- Design, develop, and maintain end-to-end applications supporting contact center operations, spanning front end interfaces, backend services, and data layers
- Implement backend business logic, orchestration layers, and serverless functions supporting contact center workflows
- Assist in solution design and architecture for chatbot, voicebot, and IVR journeys across multiple CCaaS platforms.
- Own end-to-end bot lifecycle: Conversation design, NLU/NLP model development, integration, testing, deployment, and post-go-live optimization.
- Integrate conversational solutions with CRM, ticketing, telephony (SIP/IVR), and backend enterprise systems using APIs, middleware, and webhooks.
- Define and enforce best practices, reusable components, and design standards across projects.
- Implement authentication, authorization, and secure data exchange patterns across application tiers
- Analyze application and system performance and proactively optimize scalability, reliability, and maintainability
- Collaborate with solution architects, product owners, and clients to translate business requirements into technical designs.
- Troubleshoot production issues and drive root-cause analysis for bot performance degradation.
- Support deployment, environment configuration, and release activities in partnership with DevOps teams
- Collaborate closely with product owners, architects, designers, and cross-functional development teams to ensure successful delivery of solutions
- Participate in architectural discussions, solution design reviews, code reviews, and best practice implementations
- Manage defects through triage, root cause analysis, and resolution within agreed quality standards
